What happened here is that a 1000 ton gorilla is entrenched in the business operations market and it's irrational for managers to phase them out since it's very risky for their careers. This poisons the field for startups who can&

I hate that the immediate reference against which a book ban should be compared is Mein Kampf. The effect will not be to ease those bans, but to ban Mein Kampf too, and that sets an incredibly low standard to book bans - it's a very du

I always wondered: ok, the US medical system is atrociously expensive and inaccessible, but where does all that money go? Surely a surgery cannot really cost half a million dollars, can it? Well, when a large number of patients are effect
